Chris Paul

Teams averaged 29 3-point attempts per game last season, setting a record for the seventh consecutive year. And the trend doesn’t appear to be ending.

Through action Tuesday night — the league’s first 51 games — teams averaged 31.6 attempts from beyond the arc. The Mavericks led the way, putting up 43.3 attempts per game — including an NBA-season-high 50 3s on Saturday in a victory against the Timberwolves.
